From July 31 - August 4 I will be in Vilnius, Lithuania for a dedication event at VJPL. On August 2, the VJPL will honor Drs. Judy and Paul Berg from San Diego, CA who paid for the shipping of hundreds of wonderful books donated by the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA. For more information, please visit the VJPL's website.

On June 19th, I gave a talk at the Association of Jewish Libraries' (AJL) annual conference in Pasadena, CA. I talked about the founding and development of the VJPL. I also spoke twice at the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. I made some great contacts and would like to say thanks to all the wonderful people who helped to make my trip a success.
